Sex & The Austen Girl: an original comedy web series on Babelgum.com

So what possessed me? I was donning
the hat of propmaster for SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL, the exciting new web series inspired
by my Austen Addict novels, which we just finished shooting.

That's right: In May you'll
be able to see the first episodes of Season One of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL. An
original comedy series on the fabulous Babelgum.com. Air
dates to be announced very soon!

THE CONCEPT:

In CONFESSIONS OF A JANE
AUSTEN ADDICT and RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT, two young women, Courtney Stone of present-day Los
Angeles, and Jane Mansfield of
1813 England, inexplicably switch bodies, time periods, and lives.

Now, together for the first
time, Courtney and Jane face off to debate the pros and cons of life, love, and
being a woman in today's world vs. Jane Austen's world.

The core of it all is this: Are
we better off now, or were we better off then?

The actors are amazing:

On the left is Arabella Field as Courtney Stone, a 21st-century Los Angeleno stuck in Regency England and holding the above-mentioned chamber pot. On the right is Fay Masterson as Jane Mansfield, a gentleman's daughter from 1813 England, stuck in 21st-century Los Angeles and trying to phone home. [photo credit: Deborah Zeitman]
